Y :This invention yrelatesto furnaces, and more particularly to furnacesfor heating enclosures containing7 highly 'inflammable or combustiblematerial, vapors oi' gases, Y as,

' 5 for example, garages.L rlhisinventionis designed especially forsmall, isolatedgarages ywhich are .not heated` from a central heatingplant but are usually heated` fromfa stove or furnace within the LJrai'age. In heating i0 suoli structures the danger from `tire is sogreat that the various boards 'fof underwriters for fireinsurancepurposeswill not permit the installation of a heating apparatusinvvhich the 'burning fuel may be lv'brought into contact4 with thevapors or gases present or apt to arise in the structure to be heated.It is the principal object of this invention therefore tofprovideheating apparatus" capableof being "readily installed withina structureor building of the type described, "but 'in which the part or partscontainingk the incandescent or yburning fuel'are so constructed andarranged as to render it impossible for the combustible matter tocommunicate'therewith.

i A further Objectis the provision "of a 'furnace having a sealedportionwith no openings, and a portion with various usual openings therein; thesealed portion being ,disv- "posed"wivthin` the structure to be heatedwhile the other portion is'I disposed Jwithout thesanie. n f ,l

A further object istlie provision iof a heating apparatus in whichsubstantially the eni tire heat emitting portion is located "within thestructure to bev heated,` and only those portions, having the necessaryopenings'for theoperation 4of vthe apparatus, vlocated Without saidstructure.

A further object is the provision'of means on said heating apparatus forinsulating or selpiiarating the portion ofthe heating ap-.ty ,i

whichconstitutes substantially the entire paratus disposed without the estructure against communication with the interior thereof. Y

- A further object is the provision ofa heat- Y ing apparatus having allthe usual necessary openings, such as the fuel -supplyfash-pit,

, Other objects andadvantages will in part be ,obvious and in partf bepointedjout hereinafter.V i

M c g To the attainment of the aforesaid.objectsy 'and .ends myinvention consists tlie'novel details `of construction, and intherconiibination, connection and arrangement of parts hereinaftermorefullydescribed and then pointed `out in tliefclaimsg` i 1n' the accompanyingfdrawingg-wherein I havel shown what Iynowconsider to be the preferredform of my invention, ,and/forining part of this specitication*y IFigure 1 isa horizontal section `through a structure to be heated andhaving my invention applied thereto.v Y v Fig. 2 isa. side elevation `ofthe furnace shown ,in Fig; 1. l Y V c n' c 3 is va front elevation ofthe furnace. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectionftlirough the structure to beheated, showing the furnace Fig. a front elevation of the,y furnacel:applied to the structure. j

of Fig. 5.

Fig. 6 verticalfsection on the line 6--6 Referring to the drawings,ythere is shown a structure l()` of `the type usually employed e-ijorstoring a. few cars and not connected to any central heatinv plant.I `propose toi-heat such` structure-s by iiiyfheating apparatus orboiler,supported as ,usual uponlegs 12 and roinprising a plui'falityr ofsections 13. `In

thee frontface. of the'fiimt-sectiou are ,priovided, theiisualfeedopening 15,.iueclean ing opening 1.6, ash-pit opening l7,.and alsoVthe smoke ioutlet 20 which` isusu-ally positioned yat the rear. Theboilercontains no 95 other openings, softliat'theentiife body of theboiler from the-fri'int section. rearwardly,

distance back ofthe face thereof` and parallel thereto is a'. fia-nge,c25 "running coinpletely` 110 around the body portion 2l and fillingthe space between the bottom of 4fthe body portion and the floor, asshown at 26. The body portion is inserted into the garage throughopening 22 until thelfflange abuts against.y

the wall of the garage. The opening in the building is thus completelyclosed 'and lthe front exposed portion of the boiler is conipletelyinsulated and separated fromthe interioijof the garage, so as toetlectuallypre- 4vent any communication with the interior of the garage.by way of opening 22.

To prevent the too rapid radiation of heat at tl'ie"front, anda'lsotoprevent scattering of hot cinders and coal, there maybe proi-,vided an enclosure,in the form of a lean-to, 'atthe'front of theboiler. rlhis enclosure or housinginay consist vof a roof 30, preferablysloppijng 'and through which the smoke line extends, side walls A,31extending to the ground, and a door l32liingedin a front wall "orforming the front wa.ll.`

The 'boiler is attached, preferably to the lean-to, in any suitablemanne-r, `as by screws 40 passing through lugs 4l of a `member 4Q liXedto each side wall 31, said screws et() extending through openingsd inthe flange Q5. i

From the foregoingl description it rwill be obvious that as only theheat emitting ,portionof the boiler is located within the Structure, andthe parts necessary to obtain access to ythe interior of the boiler foroperating the sainel are located without the structure and sealedagainst allcommunication with the interior of said structure, all dangerof inflammable or combustible vapors or .gases which may be. present .orwhich may collect therein, reachingthe interior of the boilervis,obviatedyandall danger off lire precluded.

The'above/description illustrates the principles embodied inmy-Y-invention, 'but it will be understoodthat various changes may be"made within the scope of the 'inventionas defined in the annexedclaims.

Having `thus described my said invention what l claim and desire ltosecure by lietters -Patentris: i

l. The eon'ibination of a structure to be heated having an opening in awall thereof, with a' heating apparatus of smaller' outline than that ofsaid opening and comprising a 'plurality of connected sections adaptedto confine a heating liuidythe back and intermediate sections thereofextending freely through saidA opening ,andinto said structure, and a*front section' extending without vsaid structure and'having openings inits eX- posed 'pjortioina peripheral flange extending recalcasurrounding the saine whereby to 4prevent coinniunication between theinterior 0f said structure and the interior of said heating apparatus byway of saidy space and the openings Iin said front section,substantially as specified.

The coi'nbination of` a'structure to be heated having an opening [awall thereof, with aflieati'ng apparatus of smaller outline than saidopening comprising a plurality of connected sections adaptedto confinealieat- `ing fluid. and whose back and `intermediatel sections fconstitute* an exteriolily 'closed 4heat feii'iitting surface extendinginto the opening in said structure, and a. Ifront sectidn'haying an-eiiposed i portion provided with openings, and a peripheral flangeextending",entirely around said front section foij"seeiiring the heatingapparatus along the edges of said opening and iii spaced relatioii'to'the eijlges thereof; said flange also serving to preventeoiiiiiiiinication between the interior of said structure andthe'interior of said heating apparatusby way of the space between saidheating apparatus andthe edges of the open- .ing si'irroundingvthe same,and the openings in said front section, substantially as specified. l
